Argentine goalkeeper Willy Caballero has offers from both Newcastle United and Chelsea, The Times report.

Caballero will become a free agent after his contract with Manchester City expires at the end of June.

The former Malaga stopper reportedly favours a move to Chelsea, The Times claim.

This would be a blow to Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez who is on the hunt for a new goalkeeper.

He has Robbie Elliot, Tim Krul and Karl Darlow at his disposal but is unconvinced and had been pursuing Pepe Reina.

Caballero has been second choice at Manchester City and is seemingly content to experience the same situation at Chelsea.

The Blues are looking for a new back-up to Thibaut Courtois after Asmir Begovic was sold to Bournemouth.

Caballero played more than expected for City last season but they have signed Benfica goalkeeper Ederson and are comfortable releasing the 35-year-old.
